NCDPI to Release Achievement Data

The 2013-14 school year was the second implementation year of North Carolina’s READY initiative, which includes a new Standard Course of Study in all subjects and grade levels, new student assessments aligned to the revised Standard Course of Study and a new school accountability model. Over the next few months the NCDPI will release a variety of performance data to provide parents, teachers, school and district leaders and others comprehensive information on how well schools are preparing students for the next grade level, course and ultimately college and a career.
